I've not seen them for four years - elder puts Memorial invite on my door
by truthseeker ini just came back from shopping, was about to pull up in the driveway and noticed an elder from my old hall and his young child working the territory.. i waited till they left and parked.
i noticed i was the only one who got a memorial invite, none of my neighbors got one.
so they weren't working the territory but stopped by to give me an invite.

LOVE-BOMBING TRAINING just before the Memorial
by Alfred inthe last memorial i attended was in 2010 and i havent been to the kh since june of 2010... but when i was in, it seemed like every year, usually 1 or 2 weeks before the memorial, the service meeting would have a skit on how to behave when new faces enter the kingdom hall on memorial night.. it was always extremely painful for me to watch (and sometimes humorous) because the elder in charge of that service meeting part would usually select 4 of the grumpiest elderly sisters in the congo to do the skit.
one pair of sisters would play the part of the "love-bombing" jws and the other pair would play the interested ones entering the kh for the first time.
then they would switch roles and change up the script a little.. i always thought to myself: those sisters are never going to put that into practice... theyll show up late before even thinking of love-bombing anyone.

Territories, and Boundary Changes...Such a Confidential and Top Secret
by Quarterback ini can recall awhile ago when some of the elder's wives weer talking and hinting that the boundaries were being changed in our city.
this affected 4 congregations.
my faimily was shocked when we found out from a sister in another congregation whose husband in not even in the faith.. apparently she is in the gossip group.. how sad, that they won't tell you what the proposed territories would be like, and allow some discussions on it.

How Do You Approach New Friendships Now?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inmost of the website vistors and members have experience the wonderful conditional love (if not, why are you here?
), by the followers of the watchtower society.
feel the love "that no other organization or group of men and women have experienced" or was it elusive during your tour of the religion?
